The fast transformation of technologies into new products or processes is one of the core challenges for any technology-based enterprise. Within the innovation process, we believe, the early phases (“fuzzy front end”) to have the highest impact on the whole process and the result (Input-Output Process), since it will influence the design and total costs of the innovation extremely. However the ...

An exact formula for the move-to-front rule for self-organizing lists.

in this paper, a multi-objective reconfiguration problem has been solved simultaneously by a modified ant colony optimization algorithm. two objective functions, real power loss and energy not supplied index (ens), were utilized. multi-objective modified ant colony optimization algorithm has been generated by adding non-dominated sorting technique and changing the pheromone updating rule of ori...

in iran, onion plants are currently broadcast over the majority of onion fields and weeding and harvesting are done manually by seasonal workers. at harvest time, 40 worker-days are required to onion dig just one hectare. this cost could be saved if the operation could be carried out by machine. rear-mounted diggers can only be implemented if 40 cm spacing between rows is allowed for each tract...

Active Front Steering ist ein elektronisch geregeltes Lenksystem für Kraftfahrzeuge, das situationsabhängig eine Überlagerung eines Winkels zum Lenkradwinkel erlaubt und somit eine Variation der Lenkübersetzung ermöglicht. Für ein solches System muss die funktionale Sicherheit gewährleistet sein. Ziele der funktionalen Sicherheit werden erläutert und messbare Kriterien und deren Nachweisbarkeit...

In this paper, a bi-objective pharmaceutical supply chain network under uncertainty demand and transportation costs is modeled and developed. To control the uncertainty parameters, the robust optimization method is considering. The main objective of this paper determines the number and location of potential facilities such as drug manufacture centers and drug distribution centers by considering...
